That is all, but there is ring to it that

What droll things are to be met with in
Gardeners GaZettes, or in Half hours with
Horticulture, or in Conservatory Chron-
icles, or in whatever other blue apron and
and pruning knife journal falls under the
n~on-technical eye! Here is a peep into
n of them, just to show its fruits of
learning and flowers of speech. In it we
read of an orchard house in full swing;
of a stage in a conservatory; of melons
having a collar; of a primula getting a
habit; of gloxinias wanting Il shift; of all
plants requiring to be dressed; of peaches
forming elbows; of potatoes having well
ripened eyes; Of Currants having spurs;
of pines wanting hot water pipes under
their beds; of specimens being starved to
rest; of roses being inpatient; of sap
being inclined to rush away; of azaleas
not liking tobacco smoke; of figs running
riot; of grapes that can stand sulphur
fumes, that are well out of the way, that
are no end of trouble, that may not be
left to themselves, that will not be hur-
ried, that a get rusty, that are gross
habited, that dislike to be buried, that re-
fuse to be finished off, that rob one an
other, stone themselves, rave warts, and
can color, and swell, and bleed, and
startl
GARDENERS, also, are directed to do dread
full deeds. They arc to pinch the bines,
to stake the carnations, to strike veroni-
cas-, to behead winter greens, to turn out
bouvardias, to reduce climbers, put endive
into cold pits, prick ont celery, and stick
peasl The territories il which all this is to
be done are as u%ninviting as possible.
They are full, SO we read, of rcd spiders,
greenny, earwigs, mealy bugs, wiro-
worms, caterpillars, carrot grubs, onion
maggots, mildew, saails, ants, slugs, scale,
club and cats. Nor arc the weapons with
which war is to be v.agol against these
any sweeter to tho imagination. Garden
ers are to arm themselves with clay, tar,
chalk, SCOT, lime, bran, sulphur, sweet
oil, wood ashes, gas lime, rosin, soapsuds,
softsoap, nicotine soap, tobacco dust, to-
bacco paper, guano, quassia, paraffine,
hellebore powder, fir tree oil, brewers
grains, and red lead. In such perpetual
battle against garden pests-as they are
called-the one pleasant thought is that
all seems to be greatly in favor of the

Henry Ward pcccher's Property.

Mr.. Beecher's property is said to be
worth $40, 900, most of it being personal
property. For the past four years he
had received q salary of $15, 600 a year
from Plymouth church. For years be-
fore that $50, 900 a year had been allotted
him, and during the famous Tilton con-
troversy 800, 900 q year was granted
him as a mark of confidence in his integ-
rity and to enable him to meet the ex-
penses of his suit. In the lecture field
he received never less than $3.50 n night
nor more thar $500. This would net
linn about $14, 900 a year. Then he re-
ceived a royalty of about "a, 900 upon
some books written in his earlier days,
prominent among which was Lectures
to Young Men" His syndicate news
r - letter, which he continued up to
the time of his illness, netted him $50 a
week. This income, though almost
%princely, was spent by Mr.. Beecher in
ornamenting his household and in charity.

In the excitement occasioned by the

moved a blue glass globe from one Of the
chandeliers, regardless of the many valu-
able pieces of brio 4 brac strewn about
the room, and bore it to a place of safety.
The intention was all right, of course; it
was only the judgment that was at fault.
The mothers rescue was accomplished,
not without difficulty, by a newspaper
correspondent and a colored man living
in the neighborhood. Mrs. Burnett was
found lying on a bed in her room. utterly
Frustrated. Wrapped in a piano cover,
and with the correspondents oVercoat
thrown around her shoulders, she was
lifted and carried to a ncighEor's house,
where she remained until all danger was
past. The house was damaged more by

The Fire WorshIpers.

Eve do not worship fire." explained
Mr.. Kevasjee Pestangee, of Bombay, the
Parsee priest, now making his first visit
TO this country, to an inquiring reporter.
1--WE worship the one God. We pay re
spect to the elements-ire, water and the
rest-as great works Of God, without
which we could not exist. Fire is one Of
the most beautiful and striking of the ele-
ments. When a Parsee, in praying, turns
his face toward the SUI he does not wor.
ship the sun, but looks upon it as illus
trating the power and the majesty of the
supreme being. Fire burns always in our
temples, as n symbol, as a sacred symbol,
but always a symbol. There are 10000
or $4,000 of us in India. We do not
propagate our religion. More thar that,
we do not take others into our religion
even. We are exclusive. III temples
are open only to those of u faith, and
even when religious rites are performed in
n room no one not of our religion can be
present. In the morning the Parsee prays
that he may speak the truth, think the
truth and act the truth. Our temples are
open all day, n one may drop in at any
time to make his quiet orison. "-Phila-

CROSS QUESTIONING A WITNESS

A Reasonable Way and an Unreasonable
One-A Nervous Mans Experiences.
l have a nervous friend who wns once
unlucky enough to be called as a witness
III n law suit in this city. He was quito
an important witness. He was, more
over, a decent, sober man, who lad never
harmed or wronged any one in his quiet
life. When he went on tho stanl ha was
nearly crazy from n~ervousncss anil when
the defense began to cross examine him
he probably imagined himself in i much
lower and less reputable region than New
York. In order to deprive his testimony
Of value the lawyers tried to blackcn his
character. They turned him over and
twisted him inside out and gave him
altogether u shocking shaking up, without
damaging his veracity. But thcy did
damage his nerves. and they took advan-
taGe of his evident agitation to bully,
abuse and threaten him, till the judge
came to his rescue anu sent him home to
keep his bed for II week. He Says that if
he is ever summoned to give testimony
again he will commit q murder, for lie
would rather be the guilty prisoner in he
dock than the innocent witness on tie
stand.
There is n good deal of justice in his
N'a~ANRA'@As - a IA NouAN 4-sAf III
rights the lawyers feel Themselves called
on TO respect. If he preserves his nerve,
keeps a cool head, or knows enough to
deEiand the protection of the court when
the bullying goes too far, no may Eull
through fairly well. But the chances are
that if he is of sufficient importance 10 lie
worth discrediting there will 10 very
little of his character left when he IS
capes, n he will crawl home feeling
like n thief and cursing the law with flu
tile rage. In the cases of women | nave
known h experience of an hour on the
witness stand to produce most serious eff
fects, for many of the gallants of the bar
have no respect for sex when there is a
fee to earn. 1t is only a year back that the
wife of n man l know was baited into n
miscarriage by the police court counsel
of a servant who had been arrested for
theft, with the stolen objects in her
pockets.
Considering the great liberties they
take with the public, the gentlemen OF
bar should certainly not object to having
the public take Il few little liberties with
them. Yet on two occasions, / remcm-
Der, well known criminal lawyers, who
had irritated decent witnesses beyond
endurance, to have demanded the COM
mitment of their victims for contempt
when their annoyance led them to make
a sharp reply to an impertinent and
abusive question. 1t is easy to under
ST. I'd the necessity of close questioning
in the formation of evidence, and the
refutation of charges, but there is Il rea-
sonable way of cross questioning a wit
ness and an unreasonable one. The privi-
lege of abuse ought to be limited. Al
